Hello, I’m Guillermo.
Finding relief from your frustrations means meeting challenges head on, fueled by the desire to become your best self. I’ve gone from an orphaned Cuban immigrant to mayor of a major city and from married to single at an age where most couples are settling in to enjoy retirement together. Now, as a mentor, speaker and author I’m passionate about making the world a better place for all by helping others become their best self.
